TEASER: ------- Long, silver hair and cold, enigmatic gray eyes complete the most handsome picture of all. Indeed, it always seemed that Kunzite has it all: the looks, the brains and the wealth. But facades are mere illusions, and we are bound to discover that a hardened shell is nothing more than a protective mask. On a cold, dark night, one wish was voiced unconciously through the barriers of solitude...a wish for one heavenly creature. But as they always say, "Be careful of the angel you wish for--because you just might get a a hellion in disguise..." --------------------------- FOREWORD: Angel of Chronos --------------------------- By Spatula Gurl 11 OCTOBER 2000 This one is about Minako and Kunzite. The idea suddenly hit me during my 3-day retreat. I liked it immediately and decided to write it out as soon as I got home. It's mainly set in the modern time, but there's a mixture of medieval. It involves two different worlds. I guess I was inspired by all the time and dimension travel stories I've read and watched. So I guess the setting and "props" as I call it are all kind of weird. First of all, I didn't use the old Japanese era. I thought about it, but didn't go on with that plan because it didn't seem appropriate. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally in love with stories from the Meiji and Tokugawa eras, but I thought that this piece would relate more with a scene of knights and nobilities instead of samurais and shoguns. Yes, yes, I know that both main characters are Japanese, but let's overlook the basic Japanese facts for a while, okay? After all, there are a lot of animes and mangas with the same setting, but they still speak Japanese, right? And yes, I'm retaining the name Minako and Kunzite. That's the other weird thing I mentioned before (can you imagine a name like "Kunzite" in modern times? @_@ And "Minako" in what seems like a European setting?). I am also using "Minamoto" as Kunzite's last name, since I can't think of anything else to use. Ugh, I hate the culture clash, but let's just get on with it and hope it turns out alright. I'm usually a stickler for details (you will notice that if you've read LOS, my first fanfic ^^;) but this is one exception. I almost didn't write this because of the many irrational stuff here. But what the heck, I liked the idea so much! And oh, before I forget, the overall rating. I am not completely sure, but I'm warning you now: there is a definite possibility of mature content. It's part of the original sketch, but I just might take it out if it looks out of place. Just in case, the rest of the chapters would be pretty much for general viewing (I will be indicating the rating for each chapter on top of the page, like I always do). But for the sake of underage readers and some archive policies, I am going to keep two different versions of parts where there is mature content. One would be passably wholesome, where every lemon scene is carefully omitted, and the other would be the complete, unedited version. Just to inform you, the latter version would certainly fall under the archives of "A Sailor Moon Romance" (http://www.moonromance.com), because there, fanfics with such content are tolerated. Thanks to all the people who has been supportive; to my friends--Nic, Eden, Dani and Fran--for spellchecking! ^_- Thank you also to the wonderful webmistresses that have been kind enough to post this in their archives of fanfics. My eternal gratitude. FOR THE STANDARD DISCLAIMER: ---------------------------- "Angel of Chronos" is a fanfic written by me, Spatula Gurl. All storylines and concepts are made by me, but Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon and its characters are solely Naoko Takeuchi's. I am not making any profit from this fanfic.
